Two months and no charges about Stephen Perkins shooting

Police said that on the night of the shooting, Stephen Perkins threatened a tow truck driver attempting to repossess his vehicle. The tow truck driver left the house but returned later with officers. In a press release, police said Perkins turned a gun toward an officer, who “discharged his duty weapon, striking the subject.”

Security camera footage released by the Perkins family showed that it was dark outside when Perkins walked out into his yard while shining a light and shouted for the tow truck driver to put his vehicle down. Police appeared to emerge from the dark as an officer shouted for Perkins to get on the ground. A split second later, 18 gunshots rang out.

What concerns me are the dead of night and claim that Perkins had a gun. The other problem, repossessing a vehicle in the middle of the night.

You might use the code editor to see. The protocol:

• Capture URL of image.
• First post of URL using the image icon and pasting the URL which self generated "47.jpg".
• Second post of the image that rendered correctly.

BTW, this is not the only forum to suffer the image posting issue. Looks like the latest forum software has a 'feature' that blocks ordinary image pasting. I predict it will be gone in a week ... unless the screw-up has gone on Christmas holiday.
